Activity 2: A Protective Plant
There are concerns about the water quality of some of the rivers, streams and oceans in and around New Zealand. Some people have suggested that we plant flowers and plants on the banks of our most polluted rivers to stop the spread of the pollution. Apparently, the plants can act as filters, absorbing some of the chemicals (pollutants) that are moving across the land, on their way to the river.
Planting can be a lot of fun! Have you ever planted a garden? Aronui and I are going to make our very own edible garden this year. We are going to plant a number of veggies, fruits and herbs, including mint, coriander, parsley, lemongrass, onions, tomatoes, beans, zucchinis, kumara and strawberries. Yum! If you could plant an edible garden what would you plant in it?

Good morning Helena,
ReplyDeleteYour selection of fruits in your garden sounds absolutely delicious. I love all sorts of fruits as well and this garden sounds like paradise to me! Did you know that avocados are actually fruits as well? To be specific, they are a single-seeded berry. Isn't it pretty interesting? Do you like avocados?
I was wondering if you would like to plant any vegetables in your garden. What sort of vegetables do you like to eat? Mine would have to be pumpkin, cabbage, zucchini and... POTATOES! Let me know what your favourites are.
Talk soon,
Susie :)
Hi Helena,
ReplyDeleteI like the Fruits,Vegetables and Herbs you have in your garden, it reminds me of my tree at the back. At the back of my house there is a big Feijoa tree that always has heaps of Feijoa's every year in March.
Great work and keep it up
